A mobile health clinic to promote health in mountain communities

Led by the Maison des Familles in Saint-Marcellin-en-Vercors (Isère), the "En route vers la santé" initiative was piloted from 2020 to 2023. A psychologist and a social worker offered 15- to 25-year-olds a listening ear, awareness-raising, and free psychological consultations aboard a bus traveling through the region’s 47 municipalities. This “outreach” approach won over local elected officials, who decided to make it a permanent program.
